Case Summary:
Seroquel is an "anti-psychotic" medicine, belonging to a class of drugs referred to as "atypical anti-psychotics" or "psychotropics", also known as quetiapine fumarate which is prescribed to combat schizophrenia and bi-polar disorders.

Seroquel was approved in Canada in 1997. Seroquel was marketed heavily as a safe and effective treatment of schizophrenia, promising fewer side effects than other similar treatments including the other atypical anti-psychotic drugs on the market.

Seroquel causes serious and sometimes fatal injuries to the liver, kidneys and pancreas. Its adverse effects include, but are not limited to, ketoacidosis, pancreatitis, diabetes mellitus and weight gain. Other serious injuries include a potentially fatal condition referred to as neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), tardive dyskinesia, which can cause potentially irreversible, involuntary movements and other serious health problems associated with the onset of diabetes including heart disease, blindness, coma, seizures and death.

If you or your family member(s) has/have suffered serious side effects after using Seroquel, you or the family member(s) may be eligible to file a claim against the drug manufacturer.

I took this medication for three years and when I went to get a blood test to accumulate health insurance I was barely approved because of a few factors including my blood sugar level. I could not understand why it was so high. I don't have any diabetic people in my family.

I can submit blood work results and proof of prescription.

Case Details:
I started taking Serequel in early 2004 for sleep and personality disorder. in late 2007 I ahdnt been feeling well and had blood work and a full physical done. My blood glucose indicated that I was developing Type 2 diabetes. Keep in mind, that I was not overweight and otherwise healthy. Then in a couple months later, when we checked my glucose again, i was diagnosed with full blown Type 2 Diabetes. I have been on insulin ever since.

Case Details:
12/12/2008 psychiatrist told me she is starting on 25mg of Seroquel because I cannot sleep well. It turns out she gave me 100 mg as first dose. At the time, I did not check the bottle and just took one pill as she directed me to before bedtime. That night i was hyperventilating, almost lost conciousness, BP drpped severely and today is 1/13/09. Now I am suffering from shortness of breath, cannot sleep stright laying down, I have unexplainable twiching, and sometimes convulsions of entire body lasting 15 to 20 minutes. I am a dentist and is still out of work. I have been in the hospital doctors cannot still figure out what is wrong with me. I am seeing a neuro sub specialist as soon as I can. This medication Seroquel is very dangerous in my experience and I plan to get to the bottom of what really is going on with my body.

Case Details:
Since starting Seroquel (I can't even remember when, 2 years ago, I think) started off low dose then slowly ramped up to 800mg/day. Barely able to stay awake the dose was split into 4 doses of 200mg. The weight gain started almost immediately and continued until July of this year when I have started weaning down. I am down to 225mg/day and do another wean down starting this week.
I was diagnosed last month with Type 2 diabetes and in my opinion, it is the Seroquel that did this to me. I never received any "inbox" info other than the "medwatch" papers which I briefly scanned.
I was not checked for liver function at all and am currently awaiting results from urinalysis, checking my kidneys and liver.
I emailed Astral/Zeneca approx two weeks ago and have yet to hear back from them.
I thank you for your time in this matter,

Case Details:
My vision was so blurred I would have to stop doing activities until I could see again. My coordination and balance were off. I was prescribed 300mg which is strong so I would randomly pass out and wake up 30-45min later with my face on the table and whatever I was in my hands would be on the floor.
